Using the runtime configuration file

By default, Client-Library reads the Open Client and Open Server runtime configuration file to set runtime values for the following:

Applications that read the configuration file to apply these settings eliminate several calls to ct_con_props or the other routines mentioned above. Another benefit is that the application’s runtime settings are changed without recompiling code.

The environment variable, SYBOCS_DBVERSION, allows you to externally configure the DB-Library version level at runtime. It does this by calling dbsetversion, thereby changing the application code.

NoteIf there is an external Sybase configuration file, add these sections to enable bcp and isql: [BCP][isql]
